Ukraine, Kharkov
Biosoluble in vivo stents
Title

Biosoluble in vivo stents.
Objectives

-To establish a facility to manufacture state-of-the-art magnesium-alloy stents for sale in Ukraine and abroad.

- To create 18 permanent jobs, including 13 jobs for KIPT staff.
Summary

The Kharkov Institute of Physics and Technology, through the work of Prof. I. Papirov's Team, developed a technology by which pure metals are processed to be ultra fine-grained (UFG) with a grain size of 0.5 - 0.1 µm. The Team has manufactured many biocompatible metals (tantalum, titanium and magnesium alloys) with structures that have a unique combination of mechanical properties. The project aims at organising serial production of new generation coronary stents and selling them to medical institutions performing angioplasty worldwide. The stent is a metal tube which is inserted into the closed section of the coronary artery after a balloon angioplasty. A commercial operation will be organized on the basis of a financially independent division of KIPT, which will be similar to a start-up company.

Jobs

19 jobs were created / of which 6 are for the ex-weapon staff, 18/13 jobs were planned initially.
Cost

Total cost of the project is £ 155,000. The DECC's contribution is £ 105,000.
